Windows NT Explorer may stop responding (hang) for 10-20 seconds when you type a new folder name on a local or remote Macintosh-accessible (Service For Macintosh User Authenticated Method) volume or folder. After the computer stops responding, the new folder name reverts to "New Folder" until you refresh the window. At this time, the folder name becomes the incomplete name entered before your computer stopped responding. You can now rename the incomplete folder name to a new folder name without experiencing the same behavior.
